Documentation Review

Our complete and legible anesthesia records are an inescapable requirement for documenting quality patient care, demonstrating that we meet required National Standards, and receiving the appropriate reimbursement for all the care we provide. We will review 5 records from each provider twice in 2016 and score this documentation based on the required elements as laid out by CMS, The Joint Commission , AAAHC and ASA standards. The review scoreboard will be on the website and discussion of our documentation standards occurs at most clinical meetings. The Spring results by provider will be available by July 1st. The Fall results completed by year end.
